Chapter 2. Reading your light: sun hours and wind
When I started teaching, the first question everyone asked was "What should I plant?" I always answered with another question: "How much sun do you get?" Nearly every failed balcony garden I have seen failed for the same reason. The plants were fine. The light was wrong.
Count your sun hours
Pick a clear day and check your balcony every hour from morning to evening. Note when direct sunlight touches the spot where your pots will stand, not just the railing. Add the hours up.
| Sun hours | What grows well |
|---|---|
| 6 or more | Tomatoes, peppers, beans, courgettes |
| 4–6 | Lettuce, spinach, peas, herbs like parsley and mint |
| 2–4 | Salad leaves, chives, rocket |
| Under 2 | Microgreens and sprouts indoors |
One of my students, Martin, was sure his east-facing balcony was "sunny". After a day with a notebook, he counted three and a half hours. He swapped his tomato plans for lettuce and rocket and harvested every week from May to October.
Don't forget the wind
Above the third floor, wind can matter as much as sun. Tall plants snap, soil dries twice as fast and leaves get scorched. Watch for these signs:
- pots drying out by midday even after morning watering;
- leaves with brown, papery edges;
- stems leaning in one direction.
If you notice them, group pots together, put the tallest plants against the wall and add a simple windbreak such as bamboo screening on the railing.

Questions and answers
Is this medical or psychological advice?
No. The guide gives general guidance and tells parents when to see a doctor or psychologist.
Can it reflect my method?
Yes. Describe your method in the brief, and the chapters follow it rather than mixing in other schools.
Can it be for dads or grandparents?
Yes. Tell us who reads it and we adjust the examples and voice.
